Mitsuha 蜜葉 – Japanese Black Tea

A naturally sweet Japanese black tea with a honey-like aroma, even without adding any sugar.

True to its name, Mitsuha offers a gentle, elegant fragrance that reminds you of honey and blooming flowers. This is a beautifully crafted Japanese black tea made in Japan, designed to be smooth, aromatic, and easy to enjoy every day.

What Makes This Tea Special

The most remarkable feature of this tea is that it does not easily become bitter or astringent.

Simply place the tea leaves in a teapot, pour in hot water, and let it steep. Even if you accidentally leave it a little longer than planned, you will not get the harsh bitterness often associated with over-brewed black tea.

Even as it cools, Mitsuha continues to offer a soft sweetness and a pleasant honey-like aroma.
